Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

When the film production companies learned that the investor was Suchen, they stopped competing.

If it were some small or relatively small production companies, they might consider confronting them, but the supporter behind "God of Gamblers" was the famous steel mill.

No company has enough courage and strength to compete with the steel mill. After all, the steel mill is a well-known large factory.

Who who doesn't want to live would put himself in the way of the dragon head?

Therefore, the release schedule of "God of Gamblers" was determined very smoothly, and cinema owners from all over the country showed a high degree of cooperation.

The TV department here worked overtime to arrange the release time of Su Chen's "God of Gamblers", while Su Chen also began to deal with the screening matters in Hong Kong.

Since the film was mainly shot in Hong Kong, it would of course be released in Hong Kong. But at that time, few domestic films entered the Hong Kong market.

Furthermore, the system at the time was not perfect, and the process of getting domestic films released in Hong Kong was complicated and difficult.

Therefore, Su Chen commissioned the people in the ** office to help coordinate the release of the film in theaters.

There was no need for him to do it himself, but he could just buy a plane ticket for Assistant Zhang and arrange for him to fly to Hong Kong to handle the matter.

The last time Su Chen did not choose to travel by plane was because he was traveling with a large number of people and the flight required a series of cumbersome procedures. In order to save trouble, he chose to take the train.

When Assistant Zhang learned that he was going to Hong Kong on business, he was very happy.

He was fascinated by the prosperous scene he experienced in Hong Kong last time. When he learned that he had the opportunity to visit Hong Kong again, he could not hide his excitement and jumped for joy.

Although the main purpose of this trip was for business, Assistant Zhang could also take the opportunity to relax a little.

As a member of Su Chen's team, he knew that he was not allowed to slack off at work, and many tasks needed to be implemented by him personally. Therefore, in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Assistant Zhang could be said to be the busiest person besides Su Chen.

This business trip was a rare opportunity for him to relax, so he immediately put down his work and set off for Hong Kong to contact the local office.

After receiving Assistant Zhang's call, the Hong Kong Office immediately dispatched personnel to the airport to pick him up. As soon as Assistant Zhang got off the plane, he was sent to the office.

Although he wanted to travel, he knew that the most urgent thing was to finish his work, so he declined the enthusiastic invitation from the agency and decided to get down to business first.

This time he was greeted by a promising clerk, although not the head of the Hong Kong office.

Upon learning that Assistant Zhang's visit was to arrange for the screening of domestic films in Hong Kong, the clerk realized that this was a serious matter and that he had to report to the director before continuing.

As soon as he saw the director of the Hong Kong office coming, he immediately asked: "Is this the idea of ​​your factory director? Do you want to arrange for the film to be released in **?"

Assistant Zhang nodded and replied, "That's right. The director said that as long as you can help us find a theater to schedule the screening, we will split the box office revenue 70% to 70%, that is, 70% for the studio and 30% for you."

On the surface, the revenue of the Hong Kong office does not seem to be very much. But in fact, they only need to coordinate relationships and do not need to be involved in specific matters such as film production. Therefore, the 30% allocated to them is already a big discount.

After hearing this, the director of the office felt secretly delighted. Their office did not receive much government funding, so they always lived in financial difficulty every year. But this year, if they could help Suchen get his movie screened in Hong Kong, they would get 30% of the box office revenue, which was undoubtedly a timely help for him.

The director immediately replied to Assistant Zhang firmly: "That's not a problem. We will do our best to make the relevant arrangements."

Assistant Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. His main task during this trip to Hong Kong was to implement this cooperation agreement.

Although Su Chen did not explicitly state that this was a mandatory task, Assistant Zhang was very clear about the importance of this work to Su Chen due to his long-term cooperation experience with Su Chen.

Seeing that the director of the office accepted the conditions so readily, Assistant Zhang was very satisfied and prepared to leave. Since the copy had been submitted to the director, there was no need to follow up on the follow-up work personally.

Considering that his network of relationships in Hong Kong was unusually close and efficient, he could safely use the time waiting for news to explore this beautiful city.

After Assistant Zhang dealt with Su Chen's instructions, Su Chen, on the other side, arranged all the tasks related to the "God of Gamblers" movie and put the matter of the movie behind him. Because in essence, the main purpose of "God of Gamblers" for Su Chen is to serve as a promotional activity for his cruise brand. As for the box office revenue of the movie itself, although the more the better, he did not have too much hope.

In this era, unlike decades later, it is not easy to attract a large number of audiences through the star effect. If you try to copy the future traffic marketing model in this period, you may face different market acceptance.

Given that each era has its own unique characteristics, Suchen did not adopt a similar promotion strategy. After arranging matters related to "God of Gamblers", he immediately turned his attention to more important matters - arranging annual leave and shift work for employees.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Red Star Steel Plant must ensure that there are enough people left in the factory even if most workers go home for the holiday.

Although many employees are looking forward to returning home to celebrate the New Year, for security reasons, some people must stay behind to prevent potential thieves or vandals from sneaking into the factory and causing damage.

So Su Chen quickly made a decision: each workshop would select a number of unmarried young employees to serve as night watchmen during the Spring Festival, while the others could enjoy a one-week Spring Festival holiday.

Thanks to the development and income increase of Red Star Steel Plant in recent years, the workers will look forward to the New Year more than ever before. Most employees have been working hard for a long time and now have a good reason to return home to see their relatives and friends with a full harvest.

Despite this, the factory still needs some people to stay and watch over it to ensure that everything is safe and smooth. Suchen has made comprehensive and detailed arrangements for this. Each department will select several unmarried male employees to take on work responsibilities during the Spring Festival, while everyone else will be allowed to take leave and go home to reunite with their families.

For these single men who stay at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, staying is actually a benefit for them. Not only will the factory cafeteria prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for them during the Spring Festival, but most of them have no family responsibilities and it would be boring to go home, so it is more heartwarming to spend the holidays with others in the factory.

Many single men are also happy to choose to stay on duty and work overtime during the holidays, because their dissatisfaction is instantly diluted after hearing that their salaries will increase exponentially during this period. This does not mean that they are greedy people, but at a time when layoffs are so common, it is obviously a wiser choice to save more for yourself in advance. In such an unstable period, more security will naturally make people feel more at ease. Therefore, the consensus of single men is to earn as much income as possible during this special time.

They fully supported and agreed with Suchen's personnel arrangement. After Suchen arranged all the shifts for the Spring Festival, he left the factory and started his holiday. After that, any matters in the factory were no longer within his decision-making scope. He just wanted to make good use of this holiday to relax.

After a long period of high-intensity work, Su Chen really needs some time to rest and recover. Since he took on the responsibility of the factory director, his daily life has been almost always busy, and he rarely has the opportunity to enjoy real leisure time. Seeing that the factory operation is gradually getting on track, and it is the end of the year, this is a very good time for Su Chen to wait for the arrival of the New Year in peace and stability. So, Su Chen chose to stay at his girlfriend Yang Xue's house without hesitation, because living alone is not much fun.

They were already de facto lovers living together, and this arrangement seemed more natural and harmonious, especially during the festive New Year. Now that Yang Xue has found her beloved, she plans not to visit her relatives far away this year. Being with her boyfriend has become her most anticipated thing for the New Year, because she knows that both parents have recognized each other, and Yang Xue's company can bring more warmth and support to Su Chen.

Yang Xue really enjoyed the days with Su Chen, especially after living together, she witnessed the hardship behind her boyfriend's dedication to work. Therefore, in order to make up for the sacrifices during this period, Yang Xue decided to make full use of her vacation to take good care of Su Chen's daily life. Not only did she cook a variety of delicacies for Su Chen, she also tried her best to show care in every little bit of life to embody the image of a competent housewife.

Since Yang Xue's mother learned about the couple, she often taught her daughter how to better maintain the marriage and enhance the relationship between husband and wife. Her mother once said: "If you want to capture a man's heart, the key is to capture his stomach." Yang Xue, who firmly believes in this, strictly follows the principles taught by her mother. Now, seeing Su Chen lying at home to rest, she is even more reluctant for him to do even a little bit of hard work. The daily schedule is arranged very compactly and meticulously, and the three meals a day are varied and rich, ensuring that Su Chen's life is free of any inconvenience.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Xue was a novice who could not cook at all before. It is amazing how she could master such superb cooking skills in such a short time. However, she felt proud and satisfied when she saw that her efforts were sincerely praised by Su Chen, which made her believe in the value of working hard to become an ideal partner.

During this time, in addition to no longer having to worry about work, Su Chen could read or take a simple walk to his heart's content, leading a relatively leisurely lifestyle. After a few days of leisurely time, even he began to laugh at himself and said that he seemed to be "wasting" his time.
